LONDON— 17, King William St., E.G THIS SOCIETY COMBINES THE ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL ASSURANCE WITH MODERATE PREMIUMS. The PREMIUMS are so moderate that at most ages an Assurance of £1,200 or £1,250 may be secured from the first for the same yearly payment which would elsewhere assure (with profits) £1,000 only— the difference being equivalent to an immediate and certain Bonus of 20 to 25 per cent. A person of 30 may secure at once a provision of £o,C00 (with profits) for his family, in case of his death, by payment of little more than £100 a year. The whole PROFITS go to the Policy-holders, on a system at once safe and equitable--Lo share being given to those by whose early death there is a loss. The effect of reseroinq the surplus for the survivors (who will, however, comprise more than half the members) has been that— in addition to the above immediate advantage— Policies sharing a first time were increased at last investigation (1887 generally from 18 or 20 to 34 per cent.; Avhile Policies of £1,000 which had previously shared were increased to £1,.500, £1,800, and upwards.

This Premium would generally elsewhere secure £800 only instead of £1,000. OR, if unwilling to burden himself wiih payments during whole life, he may secure the same £1,000 by fwentij-one yearly payments of £27 i3s. ^A.— being thus frit of payment after age 50. [The usual non-participating Rates differ very little from these" Premiums— the assurers thus virtually throwing away the prospect of additions without any compensating advantage.] t At age 40 the Premium ceasing o^ 60, is for£l,OCO, £33 14s. 2d., about the same as most Offices require during the whole hfe. Before that time the Policy will have shared in at least one division of profits. rriHE following are the Results reported for 1888 : — The New Assurances completed were £1,163,044. Being for the \bth year in succession ahove a million. Premiums in year £5.58,875. Total Income, £855,886. The Claims of j^ear (including Bonus additions*) were £328,530. *■ These Bonuses averaged 49 "5 per cent, on Assurances which participated. Realised Funds (increased by £401,212) at close of year £6,516,468. The SOCIETY has taken a leading part in the Removal of Forfeitures. All Policies (not seafaring or military risks, for which special arangements may be made) are World-wide, and free from Restrictions on Residence after five years — provided the Assured has attained the age of 30.

EOADS : THEIR CHAEACTEEISTICS & COMPOSITION. In one respect our roads are in a state of transition. After a life of nearly 200 years the turnpike trust system is doomed ; for many years past it has been in process of gradual abolition, the care of the roads being now transferred to the newly constituted County Councils. Thanks, however, to the recently formed Roads Improvement Association, much useful information as to the proper system for tho maintenance of roads is being disseminated, and will no doubt in timO bear good fruit. Let us hope that the change will not be for the worse. Since the decay of coaching some of the main roads have to a great extent become disused for travelling, but very few have seriously deteriorated. On the whole our roads will bear comparison with the continental roads. If Normandy, Central France, and Germany have good roads, so have we; but we have scarcely any of that horrid 'pave that the French and Belgians seem to delight in. Generally speaking, the roads in the South of England are better than those in the North ; those again in agricultural districts, as a rule, are better than the roads in the manufacturing districts, chiefly, no doubt, owing to the heavy trafiic the latter have to endure. Like most things also, roads differ in their composition as well as in their condition, the latter chiefly depending on the former ; thus the phrase *' state of the roads " is one of special significance to bicyclists. viii INTRODUCTION. The materials used in the composition of roads naturally varj to some extent according to the geological nature of the district. Taking that basis, roads may be classed as flint, gravel, limestone, macadam, oolite, sandstone, sandy, &c. Undoubtedly the smoothest road-surface is that made of gravel, or, perhaps, gravel and flint combined, as gravel often contains a lo^ of flint. Gravel, geologically speaking, is a stratum of stones, large and small, deposited by the action of water after being broken and rounded by constant attrition or rubbing against each other ; some- times the term is used to mean all stones broken small, whether by nature or art, but the former is the more natural and the correct descrip- tion. Gravel is very widely and indiscriminately distributed, but the chief gravel roads are in the counties of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hamp- shire, Middlesex, Berkshire, Buckingham, Hertford, Bedford, and Essex. As far as an imperfect and limited knowledge will enable me to judge, if not the majority, at least a large proportion of our roads are made of gravel or gravel and flint combined. Gravel roads, Jiow- ever, have a tendency to become sandy, and in wet weather very heavy. Flint belongs to the chalk strata, and is the best material for roads, as it will stand rain much better than gravel alone. Purely chalk-flint roads chiefly occur in Hampshire, Wilts, Dorset, and Berk- shire, and are to be found amongst the gravel in the south-easLern counties. Flint roads are the best for wet weather. Limestone, or, more correctly speaking, mountain limestone, is principally confined to the hilly counties of Derby, York, Lancashire, Westmoreland. Cumberland, and Durham : but matches of it are also irregularly scattered about in all parts of the country. Limestone gives a good hard surface, but somewhat uneven, and, in wet weather, is liable rather to be greasy than merely soft or heavy, but is never dangerously so, like oolite ; limestone roads when dry are generally white and dusty, the dust being very fine and powdery. The term macadam was originally applied to a system of road- making invented by John Loudon Macadam. It was more especially intended for roads with heavy traffic, and the peculiarity of its con- struction was a surface covering of eight or ten inches of hard stone, INTRODUCTION. ix preferably granite, broken small (not exceeding 6 oz. in weight), and well rolled or beaten in so as to present a fairly smooth and hard appearance. Though such, no doubt, is the correct meaning attached to the word, yet it is often applied to roads that have no granite at all in them, and it is entirely a popular error or misconception to imagine that all macadam roads are always made with granite. Thus tho macadam roads in the environs of London are, I believe, made with a variety of grit-stone from North Wales. The roads in most of the large towns (where not paved) and in some few isolated districts are macadamised, but the proportion is small. Some 60 years ago the public mind was exercised by the question of the superiority of the rival road-making methods of Macadam and Telford (the great road engineer who effected many improvements in the Holyhead road). Telford's plan was to lay a foundation of large stones, with binding of gravel, or else a bed of rough concrete, and this is generally preferred. Oolite, frequently, but wrongly, I think, called a variety of moun- tain limestone, is the worst kind of material for roads from a bicyclist's point of view. Happily the oolite district is not a large bne, being almost entirely limited to the high grounds formed by the Cotswold Hills in West Oxfordshire, North Wilts, and Q-loucestershire, and by the Mendip Hills in North Somersetshire. Here the roads will present anything but an inviting surface to the bicyclist, should he happen to traverse them in wet weather. The stone in appearance is something like granite, and in dry weather makes a hard and tolerably good surface, but when wet it is almost impossible to ride upon it with safety ; the rain softens the material, and the traffic helps to convert it into a kind of greasy clay, very rutty and dangerously slippery. As many of these roads consist of one beaten track for vehicular traffic, the bicyclist has to choose between riding in the wheel-ruts or on the horse-hoof track, which, of course, on any kind of ground would require careful steering ; when, however, he has to pass some vehicle in front or avoid another meeting him the danger of a fall is at once highly intensified ; and it is only by the greatest dexterity that the wheel can be safely turned out of the rut. Portland stone and Purbeck stone are varieties of oolite. X INTRODUCTION. Sandstone as a rule makes a good hard road, fairly smooth, and somewhat resembling gravel, to which it is in some respects superior, especially as rain has less efTect on it. It is met with in various districts, such as "West Sussex, East Hampshire, parts of York- shire, &c. Sandy roads are usually met with in a flat country where stone is scarce ; but very often gravel roads have a tendency to be sandy, instances of which are the Epsom road after Derby-day and parts of the Bath road. In addition to the main roads, there are cross roads, bye-roads, and lanes, covering the country like a net-work, and at least five or six times as numerous as the main roads ; to follow them one should have the 1 -inch Ordnance Suiwey map, but it must not be taken for granted that all the bye-roads thereon displayed are really rideable, although many of them are as good as the main roads ; on the other hand the greater portion are impracticable for bicycling, being merely used for agricultural purposes, and many are rough cart and horse tracks, or green lanes. Of course it cannot be expected that roads always keep good and smooth, and it is not intended that the description of the surface of the roads should be taken as being the same all the year round. The state and condition of roads depend upon the time of the year, the weather, and the amount of traffic, not to mention the care bestowed in repairs. We have no really distinct and fixed rainy season ; rain, snow, and frost, &c., are uncertain in their coming, and temporary in their effects ; it would, therefore, be a work of supererogation to take note of them. Doubtless there are some roads that will stand almost any amount of rain, and are always hard and firm, or at least dry up hard and firm in a very short tinie after rain ; but only a long experience of such roads, and that under rather trying circumstances, could enable anyone to speak of them with certainty. What is attempted to be described in the following pages is the ordinary state of the surface of the roads in fine weather, except only, that with regard to extremes of weather, in some instances the roads are •^escribed under both aspects. INTRODUCTION. XI MAPS. This is an important subject for cyclists, as few start on a tour without a map of some kind, to give an idea of the country one is travelling through. From time to time queries appear in the bicycling papers asking which is the best map for bicycling. For this purpose maps may be divided into two classes, sectional maps or county maps. Of the two it is generally admitted by those who have had experience that sectional maps are preferable. The chief objections to county maps are : — (1) the great number required for any ordinary tour (46 maps for England and Wales) ; (2) the difference of scale, scarcely two together being alike; (3) irregularity of their relative positions ; (4) the awkwardness, if not difficulty, in tracing lines of road from one county to another, owing to inexactness of finish, and want of proper coincidence in the boundaries, which ought to fit into each other accurately. Then agaiD, county maps seldom show the hills well, some indeed not at all. The best sectional map, of course, is the Government Ordnance Survey of the British Isles, of which there are several scales ; of these the smallest, Im. to the inch, is the only one that I need refer to as being at all likely to be useful to bicyclists. The survey was commenced early in the present century, and though some parts of it are rather old — 50 years or more — it is the basis of every other map published. For England and "Wales the 1-in. scale map contains 110 sheets, each about 24in. by 35in. at 2s. 6d. per sheet ; but for nearly all the country north of the Thames valley the map is also divided into quarter size sections at Is. and Is. Qd. each. Doubtless many of my readers are familiar with its main features, but there are also many who are not. First of all the hills and elevations are shown by shaded lines, varying according to the height and steepness of the declivity ; where the shading is engraved lightly and faintly, the undulations are only of a moderate character, and have nothing very high or steep ; but where the shaded lines are dark and sharply defined they indicate that the slope is very high and steep — in fact, more or less precipitous — and consequently the roads on that Xll INTRODUCTION. gradient are proportionately dangerous. This, however, though on the whole giving one a good idea of the contour of the country, is not absolutely to be depended upon, as there are many dangerous hills as to which the shading affords no sufficient warning. Next, every main road, bye-road, and lane is distinctly given, tlie main roads of coui'se being the widest, and a very short study of them will enable anyone to distinguish them ; fiu-ther, a different kiiid of engraving is employed for all roads where they cross commons and heaths, the lines then being dotted aud not continuous ; tliere is, however, no distinction between ordinary carriage roads and merely occupation roads or green lanes. In most instances the distances are marked on the main roads mile by mile, and in many places also the elevations are given in feet, both affording information most useful to bicyclists. Then again, every town, village, hamlet, park, wood, and most residences and farms are noted, and numerous other objects are detailed, so that altogether the Ordnance Survey is quite an interesting study. For practical use, bicyclists will find this map too cumbersome and costly for long distances ; what is wanted is a map of small bulk, so as to be handy for the pocket, and of which several sections can be carried about one without the feeling that their room would be bettor than their company. For this reason, therefore, the 1-in. Ordnnnce is more suited for reference at home, or for the district in one's imme- diate neighbourhood, and for byc-iuads. Within the last few years a re-survey has been commenced, with the result of a gi^eat improvement on the original one, but it is not yet completed. It is divided into smaller sections (lo^in. by 11 Jin.) and will contain 360 sheets at Is. each. The only drawback from a bicy- clist's point of view in this new Ordnance Map is that the hill shading is entirely left out, lines of contoui' elevation being given instead ; but the result is a poor exchange I should not omit to mention that a small facsimile edition of above, reproduced by photography (on tlio suggestion of Mr. E. S. Gaisford, of the Temple B. C), has been published on a ^-in. scale at Qd. a sheet ; but I hardly think the small printing will find favour with bicyclists. IXTRODTJCTION. XIU The above prices do not include mounting or folding. Besides the Ordnance Survey there are several smaller sectional maps. The first series is on a scale of 2m. to the inch, commonly, but not correctly, called the Pveduced Ordnance ; it is really older than the Ordnance, but has been corrected from it; there are 65 (or 60) sheets for EDgland, Wales, and South Scotland, 20in. by24in. each at \s. 6d. Another series is on the scale of 4m. to the inch, being reduced from the li?i. Ordnance Survey; it consists of 14 sheets for England and Wales, about 25in. by 19in. {i.e. 100m. by 80//^.) at 2s. 6d. This scale I would recommend as the most suitable map for tourists, showing not only main roads but bye-roads. CYCLISTS' TOURING CLUB. TnE history of this Association, originally called the "Bicycle Touring Club," has been one of remarkable progress; and, being formed solely for the benefit of Cycling Tourists, it is one worthy of continued t^upport of all cyclists. Its object, or at least its main object, is to form a medium of mutual assistance for tourists, by giving each other information as to roads, hotels, sights, and other matters of common interest in the pastime. To carry out this, a system of local officers, called consuls, has been established in all the chief towns, and from them the desired information can always be obtained by the members. Thus, to the combined energy of a corporate body is added an inherent vitality, essentially the outcome of the individual efforts of an army of enthusiasts. Under skilful guidance such an association ought never to look back ; properly directed, its organization and influence are capable of becoming a power in the land, and an ever extending, never ceasing sphere of usefulness lies before it. Already it has done good work in assimilating hotel tariffs, and bringing them down to a figure suited to the pockets of cyclists, while we also owe to them a reduction in, and an almost uniform scale of the charges for carriage of bicycles by railway. COEEIGENDA TO FIFTH EDITION. The mileage of the English Southern and Midland Eoads has been thoroughly revised in the Author's " Handy Route Book of England and Wales," Parts I. and II. ; but with a few exceptions it has been impossible to incorporate such revision— in minute detail — in this work, on account of the cost it would involve. The following notes will, however, enable the reader to easily apply the chief alterations in the revised mileage of the Southern part of the " Handy Route Book" to the figures in this Road Book ; in Middle England the alterations are too numerous to specify.

London to Wareham (117f)— p. 44 Wareham to Corfe Castle (4— 121|) ; througli Stowborough, llSh is a tolerably good road, with one or two moderate hills ; Corfe is entered by a very steep ascent, on which are several deep cross-ruts, and it is hardly safe to ride down as the road twists about. Corfe, or Corfe Castle, is a very ancient town. The castle, now in ruins, from which it derives its name, was founded by King Edgar, and was a residence of the Saxon kings j it was of great strength, and was dismantled by the Parliamentarians.

Enslow Bridge to Enstone (8 — 68|) ; a stiff rise, rather rough and bumpy, leads out of the valley (care should be taken in descending it, as there is a Tg. at the bottom and also a sharp turn to the r.) ; from the top it is undulating for about 2in., crossing the Oxford and Banbury road at 6hn. and the Woodstock and Banbury road at the Tg., dl^m., then there is a steep crooked descent, best walked down, to Dornford Cottage, 62f , followed by a long and rather stiff hill to grind up, and again a little level past the KillingAvorth Castle, 63^, with another steep winding descent, very awkward to ride down, to Glympton, 64| ; here turn sharp to I., and directly after the road curves sharp round again to r. up a steep ascent (dangerous to ride down) which gradually becomes easier and soon turns to level, joining the main Oxford road just before Over Kiddington, 65f, and the rest undulating, with a rough and stony descent into Enstone j surface inclined to be rough and greasy when wet. Dornford, on the Dome Brook, and Glympton, on the B. Glyme, are two pretty hamlets. At Glympton is Glympton Park, and further on, Kiddington Park, where is preserved a font in which Edward the Confessor is said to have been baptized. LONDON TO HOLYHEAD.

Chapel House to Long Compton(4^ — 77) is a hilly ride; keeping to r. at the bifurcation ^m. past Chapel House Inn, there are three moderate ascents in the first mile, then a considerable descent, with two turns in it and rather loose and stony, but not very steep, into a narrow valley, up the opposite side of which is a stiff pull of nearly a mile through a deep cutting to the top of bright Hill, followed by a long run down into Long Compton ; pretty good surface on the whole. On Bright Hill, a short distance on I., are the Rollerich Stones, locally known as the King, King's Men, and Five Knights ; they are supposed to be remains of a Drnidical Temple. Long Compton to Shipston-on-Stour (5| — 82|) ; at the toll-bar at the end of Long Compton keep to I. and through Burmington, 80f , and Tidmington, 81^, is a capital undulating road, with several sharp rises, but nothing difficult either way ; easier going than returning.

[At Shrewsbury we join the Holyhead Road proper — che old coach road — the first part of which is described infra, pp. 137-140. The above route to Shrewsbury is better traveirmg.] (Shrewsbury : Eagle ; Raven.) At Cressage, on r., across R. Severn, is the Wrekin Mountain. At Cound, across the Severn, are the remains of tlie Roman city of Uriconium, now Wroxeter.

Waddesdon to Bicester (lOf — 54); the road continues fair through Ham Green, 46, to Sharp's Hill, 47, which is a long rise, followed by a descent on the other side; after this it gets rapidly worse, and then is very bad, being nothing more than a cart track, and traverses a very wild and desolate tract of country for about 6m., over Blackthorn Heath, 51^, whence there is a stiff ascent up Blackthorn Hill, and on through Wretch- wick, 62^, to Bicester. (Bicester: Crown, B.T.C. ; King's Arms; King's Head; "White Lion.) This road partly follows the line of the Roman Akeman Street. At Ham Green, Im. on I., Wotton Ho. ; at Blackthorn Hill on I., Ambrosden Park. Bicester was a Roman station and is situate near the junction of several Roman roads ; about l^m.

(Amershayn: Crown Inn ; GrifHu.) At Chalfont St, Giles, (which lies a little to the left of the road) Milton resided during the great plague, and here he finished " Paradise Lost." Amersham ch., in the middle ot the town, contains some old monuments : the town hall was built in 1612. Amersham to Wendover (9 j — 35 1) ; first-rate smooth gravel road through Little Missenden, 28 1-, and Great Missenden, 31 ; for about 8»i. level and gently rising ground alternate, with a few moderate undulations, the only one of any consequence being a sharp descent out of Great Missenden ; the last Ihn. into Wendover are downhill.

The country is very wild and open. From near Pen-y-gwryd the ascent of Mount Snowdon can be made. (Pen-y-gwryd Hotel.) Pen-y-gwryd to Llanberis (6f — 236) ; keeping to r. there is a sti£E ascent of T^n. to the summit of the pass of Llanberis at Gorphwysfa (the Eesting Place), 231, then the descent of the pass begins and is steep, rough, and stony for about ^m., when it improves, and though still downhill it is not so steep, and can be ridden with safety. For the last 2m. it sku-ts the shores of Llyn or Lake Peris. (Llanberis: Castle; Dolbadarn, B.T.C.; Padarn Villa; Pen-y.pas3; Eoyal Victoria ; Snowden Valley.) The road skirts the foot of Mount Snowdon all the way, the snmmit being 3 or 4m. from Gorphwysfa : there is another road from Llanberis by Ceunant Maur, where is a fine waterfall. Before Llanberis on r. below Llyn Peris is Dolbadarn Castle. Llanberis to Carnarvon (8—244) ; one steep hill up past Glyn Peris Hotel, 237, otherwise easy road, but rough and bumpy, and after heavy rain very loose, as Lake Padarn, which it skirts iovoin., overflows: from Cwm-y-G-lo, 240, the country becomes more open and the road ii rather better, though much up and down through Llanrug. (Carnarvon : Arvonia, Hqrs. ; Castle ; Prince of Wales ; Queen's ; RoTal : Royal Sportsman, B.T.C.) 136 Just beyond Llanberis on I., is a large slate quarry, employing 3,000 men. Carnarvon is an ancient town and is surrounded by a Avail with round towers, the stireets are narrow : the chief building is the castle erected by Edward I., and is that in which Edward 11. was born ; it was 12 years in building.

Kineton to "Welle sbonrne Hastings (4| — 89^) ; leaving Kineton, there are two rather stiff hills to mount and then an extremely pretty road through Compton Yerney Park and Compton Verney, 87i, a mile beyond which is a very st'='^p and rather rough hill (Friz Hill) to ride down, and neari]ig Wellesbourne Hastings the road becomes very good. Wellesbourne Hastings to Stratford-upon-Avon (5 — 94 .\); by Alveston, 92^, and through Tiddington, 93, and Bridge Town, 94, is a good, fairly level road, with gravel surface, but in wet weather becomes soft and heavy : for the last 3»i, it runs close to B. Avon. On r. pass Charlecote Park. LONDON TO BRIDGENORTH (by Stourbridge). London to Alcester (100^) — p. 135. Alcester to Bromsgrove (13^ — 113f)— p. 125, 137 Bromsgrove to Stourbridge (9| — 1231) ; crossing tlic main street, a little to the r., keep straif^ht on through Bromsgrove, and then through Barnsley, 115f, Fortield, 116|, Gost, 117f, Hollow Cross, 118f, Clent, 119^, Ilaglej, 121, Pedmore, 121f , and Old Swinford, 122| ; there are several Btiff and loose hills to mount in the first half, in the rest nothing difficult ; otherwise good road.

LONDON TO HOLYHEAD (by Coventry). (The old Parliamentary and mail coach road. This road after Dunstable to Daventry is not a favourable one for quick travelling, especially with a light machine.) London (General Post Office) to Highgate Archway (4^) ; wood pavement for |m. along Aldersgate Street, then granite paving with tram- way along Goswell road, past the " Angel " Islington, 1|, along High street and Upper street, a short distance down which the paving gives way to ordinary maeadam, and along Holloway road; the tramway extends to the Archway. There is a moderate rise up to the "Angel," otherwise level: heavy traffic for first l^m., and road generally bad for bicycling. At the *' Archway " Tavern, ^vi. before the Archway, keep to r., that to I. over the hill being the old road through Highgate town. Highgate Archway to Barnet (7 — 111) ; undulating road, with two rather stiff descents at East End Station, Sf, and past the St. Pancras Cemetery, to the " Green Man," Brown's Wells, 7, then undulating over Fmchley Common and through Whetstone, 9}, and Greenhill Cross, 1C4-, and a long stiff and rough ascent to Barnet ; the macadam continues, bad and shaky, to Finchley Common, then the road gradually improves, and is generally fair riding. {Whetstone: Bull and Butcher, C.T.C. — Barnet: King of Prussia; Old Salisbury; Red Lion ; Salisbury Arms, C.T.C — Chipping Barnet: Lion.) A short distance beyond the Archway, on Muswell Hill, Im. on r. Alexandra Palace. Just N. of Barnet on r. an obelisk marks the site of the last battle of the Wars of the Roses in 1471, when the Earl of Warwick was defeated and Blaiu. Barnet ch. was erected in 1400, and contains many old monuments. Barnet to St. Albans (9| — 20f); instead of taking the old road from Monken Hadley, and turning off at the Obelisk (which is not now much used and in bad condition) turn to left (second turning) in the middle of Barnet, ^m. before reaching the Obelisk, and a good road runs direct to South Mims, 14|, thus saving ^m. ; then the road continues good, with a long gradu.al rise to the top of Bi.dge Hill, 15f, the northern slope of which is a steep descent, generally somewhat rough and loose, and thence it is fairly good and nearly level through London Colney, 17f, to St. Albama, with a long hiU up into the middle of the town. 138 {South Minis : Green Man Inn; Wheatsheaf. — St. Allans: Bell Inn; Cock; Cross Keys; Crystal Palace, lf(?rs., rec.

St. Albans to Dunstable (12^ — 331) '■> turn to r. a short distance l)ejond the cross streets in St. Albans, and out of the town there is a hill to descend, after which it is a capital smooth and gently undulating road, with two long gradual ascents through the villages of E-edbourn, 25, and Markyate Street, 29, followed by a long and steeper one — Spittol Hill — ^just before Dunstable, and a long gradual fall entering the town : red sandstone road. (Dunstable : Red Lion ; Saracen's Head, B.T.C. ; Sugar Loaf.) 2m. out of St. Albans on L, Gorham Bury Park. At Dunstable, the Priory ch. is worth a visit ; 2m. distant on I., Totternhoe Castle, an extensive ancient British earthwork ; also near it Maiden or Madning Bower, a Roman camp. The chief manufacture of Dunstable is straw hats. Dunstable to Hockliffe (3| — 37) ; for 2m, the road continues good and chiefly on a slight fall to the other side of the chalk cutting, when the surface begins to be uneven and rough, and there is a stiff descent over a high embankment ; the rest level into Hockliffe. Hockliffe to Fenny Stratford (7| — 44|) ; long steep hill to mount out of Hockliffe, and the road continues rather hilly, but none of the gradients are steep, though there is a long and rough descent at Brickhill, 43, hill up through Fenny Stratford : the surface is rather shaky for quick riding, and in places is very rough and lumpy, with many loose stones. Beyond Hockliffe, Im. on r., Battlesden Park. — {Fenny Stratford: Swan.) Fenny Stratford to Stoney Stratford {7\ — 52) through Shenley, 485- ; hiilj road, but none of the gradients are steep, though some of them are long ; rough and shaky, and in places very rough and lumpy ; near Stoney Stratford is a sudden dip in the road which has a double row of flagstones on tlie left hand side of each ascent, like Reigate Hill. [Stoney Strafford : Bull; Cock Inn, C.T.C.; George Inn ; Plough.) 2^m. W. of Shenley is Whaddon Hall ; a little farther, on r. Bradwell Abbey.

At Towcester on ?-., Easton Park and Mo. Towcester to Weedon (8— 67f ) ; imdulating and easy going to Foster's Booth, 621^, after which there are some long hills up and down, but nothing steep, to the top of the hill above Weedon tunnel, whence there is a capital long run down into Weedon : the surface is much better, but still inclined to be shaky and loose. {Weedon: Globe, C.T.C; Horse Shoe lun; New.) At Weedon, called also Weedou-on-the-Stieet, leave the old Roman VVatling Street which keeps straight on, on r. to Atherstone, &c., but it is not rideable f5r a bicycle for about lOnt. 139 Weedon to Daventry (4| — 72) ; leaving the former there is a lonr,- stiff ascent to climb past the railway and barracks, which most tourists wil\ walk up ; then it is a good up and down hill ride, with a stiff pull up into Daventry, which is situate on the top of a hill. (Daventry : Wheatsheaf, B.T.C) On I. 3m. distant, Fawsley Park, an old mansion. At Daventry, remains of a Clnniao Priory : near Daventry on r., Danes or Borough Hill, one of the largest encampments in England. Daventry to Dunchureh (7| — 79f ) ; short but rather steep descent going through and out of Daventry, followed by another hill to mount, then undulating but easy going to Braunston, 74f , into which there is a long stiff descent; thence through Willoughby, 76^, is nearly level, with a stiff ascent into Dunchureh : capital surface : the last 2«i. under a fine avenue of trees. {Dunchureh: Crown; Dun Cow, C.T.C.) At Braunston, handsome ch. and a curious stone cross. Dunchureh to Ryton (6| — 86|) ; the road leaves the former village on a slight descent beneath a long avenue of fir trees, and then it traverses Dunsmore Heath to Frog Hall, 8-if, and on by Knightlow Cross or Hill, 85, to Ryton, where there is a hill to descend, the first part steep and usually rough ; otherwise excellent road. {Ryton : Bull and Butcher.) At Frog Hall the road crosses the old Roman Fosse Way, and a short distance on I. is Stretton-on-Dunsmore. At Eyton, or Eyton-on-Dunsmore, 2m. on r. Brandon Castle. Ryton to Coventry (4^ — 91) ; about a mile beyond Eyton, at the bridge over B. Avon, the Southam road joins in, and it is gently undulating through Willenhall, 88^, and over Whitley Bridge, 88f : excellent going a^ first for 1 or 2m., but the latter part is macadam, rough and bumpy, which continues through Coventry : here the street is rather narrow as far as the cross roads, then there is a longish but gradual fall down Smithford street, ftt the bottom or which the traveller will see the words " Holyhead Road," directing him up a short rise out of the town. {Covenirij : (Jraven Aims ; George, ii(^rs.; Kenilworth Castle; King's Head; Knight's; Lord Nelson; Pitt's Head ; Queen's, (7,T.C.) Coventry may be called the headquarters of bicycle manufacturing, and a visit to some of the great bicycle works will prove of interest to the tourist. The chief buildings are St. Michael's ch., Trinity ch., St. John's ch., St. Mary's Hall, &c. ; the town was once surrounded by a wall 3m. in circuit, which waa pulled down by Charles II. At Whitley Bridge on I., Whitley Abbey. Coventry to Stone Bridge (8| — 99|) ; after mounting the rise out of Coventry, it is a level road to Allesley, 93|-, over rather shaky macadam, but good riding can generally be had at the sides ; thence it is a capital smooth road, chiefly on a gentle rise for the next 3m., with a good stiff descent into Meriden, 97i, and the rest undulating. On L, Allesley Park and Meriden Park; just before Stone Bridge on r, Packington Hall, (Earl of Aylesford). Near Meriden is an obelisk said to be in the exact centre of England. Stone Bridge to Birmingham (9f — 109^) ; good undulating road, but not quite so smooth as the last stage, through Wells Green, 103|, to Yardley, 106|, then rough and shaky macadam into and through the town: 140 ihort stiff descent at Bordesley, 107|-, a suburb of Birmingham, and a steep hill to mount at the Bull Ring, in the town : New street, running nearly east and west, is the central thoroughfare of Birmingham. (Birmingham: Grand, C.T.C.; Kind's Head; Midland; Queen's; Swan.) Before Wells Green on I., Elmdon Hall. Birmingham, the metropolis of the Midlands, is celebrated for its manufactures of hardware, guns, plated metals, and other kindred objects. The appearance of the town in general is mean, though it has of late years been much improved, and has some fine buildings ; it is very smoky and dirty. For a town it is very hilly and bicyclists had best give it a wide berth. Birmingham to Wolverhampton (131 — 122|) ; leave the former by the suburb of Soho, llOy, and then through Soho street, lllf, and Sandwell Green, 112|-, to West Bromwich, 114|-; a mile beyond this keep to r., and by Wednesbury, 117i-, Moxley, 118^, and Bilston, 119f ; it is a macadam road, and very bad for bicycling, being extremely rough and full of holes ; tramway laid, and heavy traffic. [From "West Bromwich there is another road to Bilston, keeping to I. a mile beyond the former, and through Great Bridge and Horsley Heath, ^m. longer.] (Wednesbury: Dartmouth. — Bilston: Lion; PipeHall, C.T.C.', Queen's Arms. —Wolverhampton : Commercial Exchange ; Corn Exchange ; Coach and Horses, C.T.C; Peacock; Star and Garter ; Swan.) This is a most undesirable road to travel, being through the middle of the "Black Country; " the better way is to go by railway which runs parallel to the road all the way. The country is more or less a desert of blasted fields and furnace heaps, varied by a succession of dirty and dingy towns and villages, intermixed with furnaces and manufactories of all kinds. Just before West Bromwich on r., Sandwell Hall. At Soho is Messrs. Boulton & Watts' extensive manufactory of engines, plated goods, &o., one of the largest in the world. Wednesbury is of great antiquity, and its ch. is supposed to have been built in the 8th century; here also are traces of a Saxoa fori;. Wolverhampton to Shifnal (12-^—135); after leaving Wolver. hampton keep to r., and it is a good road, being level or downhill for about Ifm. through Tettenhall, 124^, then Tettenhall Rocks to climb, a stiff ascent of lm.,—16 ft. in the lOO— (best walked doimi on the reverse journey); from the top is a fairly level and good road by the Wergs, 125|- (l^m. beyond keep to l), and through Boninghall (or Boningale), 129|, and Upton 134i. (Shiffnall • Jemingham Arms, B.T.C. ; Star.) At the Wergs on L, Wrottesley Park, and farther on Pat?! ill Park ; on r. 2m o5, Chillington Park. In Shiffnall ch. is a monument to one Wni. Wakely who is Baid to have lived to 124 years of age. Shifnal to Watling Street (6-^— 141^); through Priors Lee, 138. find past Ketley Iron Works, 140f, is a bad road. [At Watling Street the town of Wellington lies a short distance oil: on right ; £ — 142|.] (Wellington: Charlton Arms, B.T.C. ; Wrckin.)

Musselburgh to Edinburgh (6 — 395|) ; the road is pretty good at first, but after a mile or two it becomes very bad and lumpy through Portobello, 3921, from which there is also a tramway into Edinburgh. When going this journey it is worth bearing in mind that the north and north-east winds are more prevalent than any other on this coast, and therefore the ride from Berwick to Edinbur^ is generally, on that account, not easy work.

Moreton-in-the-Marsh to Halford (8^ — 63^) ; by Stretton-on-tho Foss, ^8^, and Portobello, 69f, is hilly, the gradients being very sharp though short ; the surface, however, though rather rough, is gravel. There is a tramway, which crosses the road, on two or three of the hills, and should be looked out for, and at fwi. before Halford (where cross the Shipston-on-Stour to Stratford- on- Avon road) the turnings are puzzling; at Halford cross B.

Hinckley to Leicester (13 — 116) ; very sharp ascent out of Hinckley to walk up, then pretty level to Earl Shilton, 107, beyond which is a short steep hill that it is best to walk down, and the rest is nearly level ; the surface is macadam, and rather shaky for quick travelling, although generally in good order, and the latter half is sometimes reported as very good. Most of Leicester is cobble paved, with tramways. z 800 [At jjeicesfcer the Fosse Way is again joined for a few miles ; from Halford it runs straight across the county of Warwick, by Three Gates, Harwood's Ho., Princethorpe, Stretton-on-Dunsmore, Frog Hall, Bretford, Brinklow, Cloudeley Bush, to Bennones or High Cross on Watling Street, at the borders of Warwick and Leicester, and thence through N^rborough to Leicester ; in all about 40m. ; in most part it is but a lane in dimensions, and is hilly in places, but generally good in summer weather.] Beyond Earl Shilton, on L, Tooley Hall; on r., Normanton. 3»7. before Leicester, Im. on Z., ruins of castle at Kirby Muxloe ; a little farther, Frith Hall, and on r., Braunstone Hall.

[At Saxondale again join the Old Fosse Way, which crosses the Wolds from 3 or 4w. beyond Leicester by Six Hills, in an almost direct line, as appears in most maps, but the greater part is disused — a mere green lane •with cart ruts, and quite impracticable for bicycles.] Beyond Trent Bridge, on I., across R.

Trent for some distance, and through Farndon, 158^^; good surface : entering Newark it is advisable to take the fork to the r., after passing over the tramway rails to some plaster pits, as the other is a narrow and badly paved street.

Containing 155 Maps and Plans, with entirely New Index, and Published in various bindings, from £2 2s. to £5. " In these days a good atlas is a necessary adjunct to a newspaper, and the new edition of Letts's Popula- Atlas fulfils in a most complete manner the requirements of the reader. The work includes no less than 155 maps, including plans of chief cities. The latest geographical discoveries and political variations are shown with great exactness and minuteness, so that it is easy to follow and appreciate the changing events which are occurring in Central and Eastern Africa, the Pacific Archipelago, and elsewhere. Th^maps are drawn on an unusually large scale, and in addition to the names of towns, districts, and ports, exact indications are given of ihe depths of the oceans, the limits of the ice regions, the courses of land telegi'aphs, submarine cables, the position of lighthouses, and, indeed information of nearly all kinds, including the mineral, agricultural, and geological formations of the various countries marked in colours. The printing is excellently clear and distinct, and the colouring of the maps is most judiciously executed, so as not to obscure in any way the letterpress. The editor appears to have started with a very ambitious intention — that of comVnning extensive statistical information with accu- rate geographical delineation, and he has admirably succeeded, for in most cases the especial trade and production of each country and province are stated, and in many places the popula- tion is accui'ately marked. A most valuable feat'ii-e of the work is a copious index containing some 100,000 names of ])laces with their longitude and latitude, positions, and page reference. The atlas is a handsome volume, and its utility is unquestionable, while its price is very moderate, ranging from two guineas." — The Times. •' To notice adequately this extraordinary work is beyond o'lr power. . . . Unless such a feat had been done we should have doubted if it were possible." — Academy. " The unmounted form of Messrs. Letts's atlas is beyond all question the cheapest full com- pendium of geographical information to be obtained, and the mounted form one of the most handsome. . . . We have on former occasions given some account of the extraordinary wealth of maps, plans, and diagrams distinguishing a volume which is still certainly the most elaborate collecDion of maps published in England, and which the publishers seem to be taking pains to make one of the most exact. The plans of the great towns alone wonld make the book an almost indispensable adjunct to every well furnished library." — Saturday Review. " Remarkable alike for the number and quality of its maps, the variety of modes in which the aid of colour is called into requisition to convey not merely information regarding geographical and political divisions, or facts in physical geography in its widest sense, but numerous other kinds of valuable information.'' — Daily News. " The information is brought up to the latest date, is closely packed, and clearly printed ; the onlv fault, if any, being that it is redundant. . . . Letts's Atlas may be pronounced a dm-able and exhaustive one." — Spectator. *' The work may be consulted for a variety of facts and information for which we should turn in vain to any other atlas with which we are acciuainted." — Bookseller. " The work is a great improvement on its predecessor, excellent as that was. In this issue the United States is satisfactorily dealt with, no fewer than nineteen sheets being devoted to the great repuljlic. Care has also been taken to bring the maps of Central and Eastern Africa — now the centres of great movements— up to date. Speaking generally, while the atlas com- prises the world as a whole, its parts are treated according to their importance. An excellent feature of the volume is that plans are given of London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, New York, Boston, and the other great cities."— D« (7^ Telegraph.
